... previously marched with the Persian and his army "as a friend and companion." (3 ) Who was Marduk? Evidence indicates that the worship of this god was already in existence in the Ur III period, though Marduk's rise to supremacy in the Mesopotamian pantheon did not occur until well after the time of Hammurabi. (4 ) Originally a god of agriculture and magic, Marduk was assimilated into many of the major gods of Sumero-Akkadian religion, eventually becoming supreme among the gods and "King of the gods." (5 ) "In his visible manifestation he was Nibiru, the planet Jupiter." (6 ) As we shall see, this is only one ...
132. The Cosmic String of Pearls [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon Volume VI, Number 4 Home | Issue Contents The Cosmic String of Pearls Marinus Anthony van der Sluijs The New Mythology The quest for the lost origins of world mythology can be resolved with the help of a relatively small number of principles that one might call the "axioms of mythology." One of these is the understanding that the visual templates of the myths- the graphical imagery evoked in the stories, such as the descriptions of the gods and their landscapes- are a far more accurate and reliable pointer to the origin of the myths than the acquired psychological and sociological functions, meanings, and interpretations, to which too much attention has been paid in ...
133. O.K. Origins [Books] [de Grazia books]
... From: The Burning of Troy, by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents CHAPTER TWENTY O.K . Origins O.K . is also okay, okey, or okeh. It is a noun, verb, adjective, and adverb. "O .K ., the most successful abbreviation ever coined, in the United States or elsewhere, has been borrowed by all the languages of Western Europe and some of those of Asia." So writes the illustrious H.L . Mencken in his book on the American language. But where does it come from? Let us resort to this author's journal: Stylida, Naxos, March 28, 1980 Stormy weather ...
134. The Velikovsky Affair [Books] [de Grazia books]
... how radical is this change that has challenged three hundred years of cosmological thought and has brought us back to the arguments of William Gilbert (1544-1603) and Johann Kepler (1571-1630)[1 ]. The newness of the revolution is evinced by the Einstein-Velikovsky correspondence wherein the former soon accepted as tenable the hypothesis of global catastrophes and, though originally quite opposed, at last became sympathetic even to the hypothesis of a recent origin of Venus as a planet. However, he persistently rebutted to the end of his life all argument that electricity and magnetism affect the motions of heavenly bodies. Whereas astronomers are perplexed at the implication of the new picture of the universe as derived from the ...
135. Night of the Gods: Axis Myths [Books]
... island was so called because it became manifest, suddenly emerged from the sea. This seems a truly extraordinary parallel to Onogoro the "self-formed" (or curdled) island and as for its churning there is the similar operation, the "cycling' of the Cyclades, of which Delos was the nucleus, the centre. One account of its origin said Poseidon with one blow of his trident made it surge from the bottom of the ocean, a still further amazing coincidence with the Japanese legend, for it gives us the spear of Izanagi. Delos floated at first, but became fixed when Latô had brought forth, at the (Universe) Olive-tree there or else when her son ...
136. The Spring Of Ares [Journals] [Kronos]
... , Harmonia, as well as the progenitor of the dragon slain by Kadmos.(1 ) Kadmos' relation to Ares has drawn little attention, presumably because Ares was known to be a god while most commentators have proceeded upon the assumption that Kadmos was a mortal. But if, as I have suggested.(1a) Kadmos was originally a Theban god analogous to Dionysus, who was also associated with Ares, the added association of Kadmos with the same Ares raises fundamental questions concerning the origins of Greek religion and myth.(9 ) That Ares was originally a celestial body is suggested by a Homeric hymn in which the god is described as a fiery sphere among the ...
137. Sagan's fourth problem: Terrestrial Geology And Lunar Craters (Carl Sagan & Immanuel Velikovsky) [Books]
... A group of ancient maps, including this one, was the subject of an entire book which I published in 1966 under the title Maps of the Ancient Sea Kings. "In some way or other, which is still not, and may never be entirely clear, this extraordinary deglaciated map of Antarctica has come down to us. Apparently originated by some ancient people, preserved perhaps by Minoans, Phoenicians, and Greeks, it was discovered and published in 1531 by the French geographer Oronce Fine, and is part of his Map of the World... Impossible! ' That would be the opinion of practical people of intelligence and learning. Utterly impossible! ' But sometimes ...

... From: The Mysterious Comet by Comyns Beaumont CD Home | Contents Part One: Meteors And Weather I - New Atmospherics Celestial In Origin WEATHER conditions figure so prominently and continually in our lives that few among us pause to consider the fons et origo of the atmosphere we breathe or the rain that descends sometimes as a blinding and furious storm, at others as a gentle shower. The state of the weather is always a subject of interest and often of importance, but not many can advance an intelligent explanation of it. We accept the occurrence of great storms, gales, hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, or severe frosts without as a rule probing deeper than to explain that ...
140. Darwin's Black Box: The Biochemical Challenge to Evolution [Journals] [Aeon]
... further proofs would be forthcoming as more information became available. Hope springs eternal. In more recent years we've been entertained by many persuasively prolific and resourceful writers, such as biologist Richard Dawkins of Oxford, Stephen Jay Gould of Harvard, and cognitive spe-cialist Daniel Dennett of Tufts University, all of whom put their own special spins on Darwinian evolutionary origin, most with emphasis on the keyword "design." [1 ] An all-inclusive list of such authors is considerably more extensive- and of course argumentative, which goes without saying- but we won't belabor the point here. Suffice it to say, there aren't many nay-sayers outside the creationist school who are even permitted to publish their ...
